Respect in hockey rinks is often missing
I was just informed by a fellow referee parent that his 12 year old son just had to bench and game a coach in a U11 tier 6 game. Now for the standard 2 game suspension and then rinse + repeat. But hey… let’s continue to trust the process. Nothing to see here
@HockeyAlberta
Then we wonder why we have generations of people who think it’s ok to disrespect officials. This 🤡 behaviour needs to stop. The fact that this guy is “leading” children is simply terrifying. Hopefully
@cochraneMHA
handles this appropriately.
*** Foul Language*** Ever wonder why it’s hard to keep adult referees around? Imagine if your boss spoke to you like this on Monday morning… completely disgusting & unacceptable. U13AA hockey, kids in the stands.

Canadian Tire doesn’t do school presentations. Geordin Flett, owner of Battery Boss in Red Deer does. Thanks for the talk about electrons, electolytes, anodes, cathodes and other topics this Gr.5 teacher has no idea about.

I’ve had the privilege to work the Chinook League for the past 15 seasons. Officiating Big Boys Hockey is truly the best. Words are often exchanged but so are beers after it’s over...Dug this one up..First game- 2005 Generals 7, Millet-1
Definitely a concerning amount of people who are trying to make a career off of the backs of hardworking parents by turning kids sport into a business. This will only increase the Equity gap that exists currently.

Let’s spread the word as best we can. Officiating is a great side gig while kids are playing hockey. Come on out and give it a try. We have a whole list of clinics still available from now till the end of November.

Looked pretty silly on the mic when they asked about the French and Indigenous representation.... Um... Ahhh... Um... Well I’m sure someone is French or Indigenous. I mean... Aren’t we all? I’m sure someone on the panel took a French university course which will qualify them...

I’m happy to hear that there is a plan in place for this individual. Hopefully the awareness raised from the sharing of this video will give people the confidence to call out this unacceptable behaviour and take a stance against it when it happens again.
Curious if there is an algorithm to bypass the

@HockeyAlberta
They are correct. It wasn’t a young official as originally tweeted. My mistake. But there was 30+ eleven and twelve year olds out there to witness it. Just because the referee is in his 50’s shouldn’t change the narrative. This behaviour has no place in our game. FULL STOP.
Huge thanks to

Stop with the negativity please. They provided us with masks. If you don’t like them or don’t think they are good enough then don’t wear them. My family along with many others purchased their own and didn’t feel the need to complain about that...

What is wrong with society? People on Twitter feeling the need to compare the Humboldt tragedy to the residential school tragedy???? That’s honestly where we’re at? We feel the need to compartalize which is worse? They both are tragic and awful. FULL STOP 🛑
#BEBETTER
@HockeyAlberta
If you want to paint us as the bad guys in this situation for sharing the video that’s fine. If we hadn’t of done this, nothing would have happened outside of the standard three game suspension. Obviously people are concerned with this behaviour or it wouldn’t have went viral.
This is a really good thread. I’ve never seen more Armchair, Keyboard Premiers in my life! Has he made mistakes? YEP. But I I highly doubt that someone is hyper analyzing your every move at your workplace. It’s a tired narrative and it’s TOXIC.

The lengths to which people in sport (professional and youth) will go to chase down the “Almighty W” is absolutely sickening. What happened to Kyle Beach is gut wrenching and anyone tied to it should be taken down.

Because unfortunately, it WILL happen again. Probably this weekend actually… and most definitely in playoffs. The silence from

Changing the culture is an extremely difficulty thing to do but something’s gotta give. Taking a stand and calling out this unacceptable behaviour is not an easy thing to do and I’ve witnessed firsthand the lack of support you receive. Unfortunately, MHA’s don’t want to draw
Sad commentary on the state of some hockey parents & coaches who cross the line with poor/foul language directed at Officials, esp young ones, during minor hockey games. Physical encounters should be prosecuted. No wonder CHA & USA Hockey official enrollment has dropped by 50%.
@JohnHozack
@joellittjukes
@newera_develop
@HockeyAlberta
Judging from the court of public appeal I think you are probably wrong. That laissez faire attitude of assuming that the MHA’s and HA will deal with it appropriately has caused this behaviour to become the norm. Sweeping these incidents under the rug is simply to easy.
I can almost GUARANTEE that Ashley has spent NO time in an elementary classroom. Clearly she has no idea what age appropriate curriculum looks like... Just another example of someone with way to many letters behind their name completely out of touch with reality.
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much!” A great quote to live by. The Grade 3’s experiences their first Rapid Whip Around today and the feedback and learning was rich!
